    The Yellow Bird of Paradise (Strelitzia reginae) is a striking variety known for its bright, yellow and orange bird-like flowers. It's one of the most popular species of Bird of Paradise due to its bold, tropical aesthetic, and it makes a stunning addition to any space. Unlike the White Birds of Paradise, this variety tends to bloom more readily in indoor environments when given proper care.

     

    Care Instructions

     

    Light: Prefers bright, indirect light, but can tolerate some direct sunlight. To encourage flowering, provide as much light as possible.

     

    Watering: Water when the top 2–3 inches of soil are dry. Be careful not to overwater, as it prefers well-draining soil and can be prone to root rot in overly damp conditions.

     

    Humidity: Tolerates average humidity but thrives in higher humidity (50-60%). Mist occasionally or place near a humidifier to improve air moisture.

     

    Temperature: Prefers temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F) and should be kept away from cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

     

    Soil: Requires a well-draining, rich potting mix. A mix formulated for tropical plants, with good drainage, is ideal.

     

    Fertilizer: Fertilize once a month with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer).

     

     

    Additional Notes

     

    Growth Habit: This variety typically grows 3–5 feet tall indoors and can eventually reach up to 6 feet or more in ideal conditions. It has large, glossy, banana-like leaves.

     

    Flowering: The Yellow Bird of Paradise produces large, bright yellow and orange flowers that resemble birds in flight. Flowering typically happens in late winter to spring, but it can take 4–5 years for the plant to bloom when grown indoors.

     

    Toxicity: Slightly toxic to pets if ingested, so keep out of reach of animals and young children.
